hmm, not sure if we mean the same or not. I'm also in favor of a staging
area. So what I did when building armv5tel is (when needed) build C7
srpms against a mix of already build C7 RPMS, some hand picked F18
(latest armv5 fedora) and sometimes some manual adjustments.
The result would then (hopefully) be a RPM. These RPMS would go into
staging, only to be used to build release worthy RPMS.

The only RPMS that got into release were those that were exclusively
build against C7 content.

I guess that I just don't see the point in rebuilding F19 SRPMS. It
might however depend on the version differences we're talking about. if
the versions are for all practical reasons the same, than it does not
really matter.
